Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Overall Response (OR) of the injected tumor
Time Frame: Up to 20 months (estimated length of the study)
Overall response is defined as Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) as evaluated using the international criteria proposed by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Committee version 1.1
Up to 20 months (estimated length of the study)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Disease Control Rate (DCR)
Time Frame: End of Treatment Visit (Week 9) through to study end (up to 18 months)
DCR is measured on a subset of subjects who achieve Stable Disease (SD), Partial Response (PR) or Complete Response (CR) at the End of Treatment visit. DCR will be defined as the proportion of these subjects that show absence of disease progression as evaluated using the RECIST v1.1 criteria
End of Treatment Visit (Week 9) through to study end (up to 18 months)
Progression Free Survival (PFS)
Time Frame: Up to 20 months (estimated length of study)
PFS will be defined as the time from first treatment administration to first observation of documented disease progression as evaluated using the RECIST v1.1 criteria
Up to 20 months (estimated length of study)
Overall Survival (OS)
Time Frame: Up to 20 months (estimated length of study)
OS will be defined as the time from first treatment administration through to death due to any cause
Up to 20 months (estimated length of study)
Duration of Response (DoR)
Time Frame: 20 months (estimated length of study)
DoR assessments will be performed on the subset of patients for who a CR, PR, or SD response is achieved. DoR will be measured from the time where the response criteria are first met, until the first date that progressive disease is objectively documented, or the date of death due to any cause
20 months (estimated length of study)

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
